October 3, 20222 yr I should have expected PopChart to be behind PSB tbh haha and Dobbo picking a great closing song too! Also pleased to see the Polish track off points now too. Edited October 3, 20222 yr by Roba!
October 3, 20222 yr I actually had a feeling that Hashim was Wardy's as I feel like I remember seeing you listening to it on my Spotify sidebar a couple of weeks ago :thinking: (it is quite an eye catching title haha). Absolute banger anyway *.* great to see that one doing so well.
October 3, 20222 yr So it was Wardy behind my favourite entry of the contest! :wub: I'm a fan of 'Beat Dis' and was taken aback as soon as I made the sample connection, amazing choice *.* Thanks for the points too after that mini drought <3
October 3, 20222 yr Ah I wondered if Wardy had sent that, only because he talked about whether the genre could be stretched or not... it was also my favourite discovery of the contest so thanks Wardy!

October 3, 20222 yr Thank you SO much Dobbo, was about to post that I was so sad/confused that Papa Dance was on zero still. Loving seeing Jade doing so well with that track :wub: PSB I’d have expected to win overall but let’s see.

October 3, 20222 yr Author 13. Roba! Telegraph is one of the more commercial songs from OMD's fourth album, Dazzle Ships, which had more of an experimental sound compared to the hugely successful Architecture & Morality album that preceded it. The album was panned at the time but in recent years has enjoyed a reappraisal with many current musicians citing it as an influence. Telegraph was the second single released from the album, reaching number 42 on the UK chart. rXXM60niKbg +12 John Foxx - Underpass +10 Depeche Mode - Strangelove +08 Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See (French Extended Mix) +07 Papa Dance - Nasz Disneyland (Remix) +06 Mamman Sani - Five Hundred Miles +05 C C Catch - 'Cause You're Young (Maxi Version) +04 Camouflage - The Great Commandment +03 Book Of Love - Boy +02 Pet Shop Boys - Paninaro +01 Psyche - Misery
October 3, 20222 yr Ooh Roba taking me to double digit points :cheer: Glad you enjoyed the lullaby enough to vote for it :lol:
October 3, 20222 yr Thank you for the bronze medal, Rob :heart: I'm a huge fan of 'Enola Gay' and 'Souvenir', plus pointed your OMD entry, I really need to check out more from them.
October 3, 20222 yr Actually Bré whilst we're on the subject of your entry... where on earth did you find it?
October 3, 20222 yr OMD's first song to miss the UK Top 40 at that! Seems 'Underpass' is having a night of 18's (including mine) and rightly so and Jade's too.
October 3, 20222 yr Author 14. Jester Scoundrel Days was the opening track from A-Ha's second album of the same name. It was not released as a single. qaEcXLFNtUw Hello! 12 Secret Service - Flash In The Night 10 Vangelis - Blade Runner (End Titles) 08 C C Catch - 'Cause You're Young (Maxi Version) 07 Toni Basil - Over My Head 06 Olivia Newton-John - Twist Of Fate 05 Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See (French Extended Mix) 04 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Telegraph 03 Naked Lunch - La Femme 02 Kano - Can't Hold Back (Your Loving) 01 Thomas Dolby - Windpower Thanks for hosting!
October 3, 20222 yr This disrespect to one of the greatest ever film soundtracks :'( Thanks to the few points that have come my way nonetheless x That's a great top 3 though, and Hashim was also wonderful. Edit: omg that's more like it!!! Thanks Matt x Great choice of entry <3
October 3, 20222 yr Actually Bré whilst we're on the subject of your entry... where on earth did you find it? I posted about it earlier in the thread just after my votes were revealed! coming courtesy of me typing the word 'synth' into /r/listentothis and checking out interesting looking songs tagged with 80s release dates That is just passing the buck to 'where on Earth did that Reddit user find it?' of course :D

October 3, 20222 yr Brilliant choice, Jester :wub: I'm a big fan of the 'Hunting High and Low' album but know shockingly little of their material beyond that, so thanks for the discovery - and the points!
